"We have a plan!!"

So the cry from the Kerry/Edwards campaign goes! Yes, in deed, they have a plan. Unfortunately no one really knows what it is. There are the "Four Points". From the Kerry website, here they are:

===============

Internationalize, because others must share the burden.

Train Iraqis, because they must be responsible for their own security.

Move forward with reconstruction because that's an important way to stop the spread of terror.

Help Iraqis achieve a viable government, because it is up to them to run their own country.

===============

A couple of thoughts on this "plan for winning the peace".

Internationalize the effort: Senator Kerry, today, had to admit that the chance of France and Germany contributing troops to the efforts were zero. And, with NATO already heavily involved in Afghanistan, the probably of additional troops from that organization is likewise doubtful. Of course, there is our current coalition of the "bribed and coerced" we could look to. However, that smoke you see in the distance are the bridges that Senator Kerry is in the process of burning. Our primary resource for fighting troops are the Iraqi people themselves. It would behoove Senators Kerry and Edwards to acknowledge their incredible sacrifice and their courage in this undertaking. The internationalization process is a dead end.

Train Iraqis. Golly, what a concept. If only President Bush had thought of that. It is such an amazingly inept point and argument, I can't bring myself to comment on it seriously.

Move forward with reconstruction. Really? Why I thought we would probably leave the country an ash heap! How about the thousands of schools that have been repaired an opened? How about the hospitals? How about the restoration of power, sewer and water treatment? Obviously work remains, but testimony given by soldiers and Iraqi bloggers clearly show much more progress in being made than is being reported.

Help Iraqis achieve a viable government. I wonder who Senator Kerry will select to run it?? After Joe Lockhart's comment about PM Allawi, he obviously is unwilling to work with the interim government. I believe he should clearly state who his pick for PM will be and how he plans to put him in charge.

Basically, it seems the key to the success of the Kerry plan is that he will do it faster and better. Had I known that, I would have run for President!! I have a plan to resolve the entire Mideast situation, including Israel, Iraq, Iran and all the other little hot spots by mid December. Really, before Christmas all will be well in that part of the world, because I have a plan.

No, really, I do have a plan, and it's good too.

Really really good! It's secret, of course, but it's really really really good!!!
